Oscillatoria is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria that typically forms long, unbranched chains of cells. While they can appear in large groups or mats, they are not considered colonial in the same way as some other cyanobacteria or algae that form distinct multicellular colonies. Instead, Oscillatoria cells remain interconnected in filaments, allowing them to move and oscillate in water.

The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that individual organisms from a colony can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular lifeform (e.g., cells from abrain) cannot.
Volvox
The microscopic algae are unicellular, colonial and filamentous forms of organisms.
Spirogyra is a type of colonial green algae. They are unicellular and arrange themselves in long filaments.
Unicellular: Algae like Chlorella are single-celled organisms. Colonial: Algae such as Volvox form colonies of cells. Filamentous: Algae like Spirogyra form long chains of cells. Thalloid: Algae such as kelp have a plant-like body structure with differentiated tissues.
Phytoplankton, colonial, filamenous, and multicellular
The four common thalli of algae are unicellular, filamentous, colonial, and multicellular forms. Unicellular algae consist of single cells, while filamentous algae are composed of long chains or filaments of cells. Colonial algae form clusters or groups of cells that work together, and multicellular algae are complex structures with differentiated tissues, such as those seen in seaweeds. Each thallus type plays a distinct role in the ecosystem and has unique adaptations for survival.
Unicellular,filamentous and photosynthetic organisms are ALGAE
They all are living, reproduce, and grow.
In my opinion, a lichen can be considered a colonial organism. It has many organisms that are specialized to perform specific functions and it is in close association between fungal and algal cells. It meets the requirements for a colonial organism.
Yes, brown algae are multicellular organisms. They can have complex structures, with some species reaching sizes of over 50 feet in length. Brown algae are a type of seaweed commonly found in marine environments.
